5 Myths about scholarships and grants and in the EU

1

All scholarships and grants are awarded on the basis of merit or need.

This is not true! There is a wide variety of selection criteria. This can be anything from your parents’ jobs, to where you live.

2

There are only a few institutions that offer financial aid.

Wrong! There are more than 12,000 scholarships, grants, loans and other funding options in the EU worth a total value of more than 27 billion Euros.

3

You have to be in your first semester to get support.

Also wrong! There are many programmes targeting established students. Financial aid is available twelve months of the year and if you continue to look, you’ll find more opportunities.

4

Too many people apply for scholarships!

This is not true either! In fact over two-thirds of students never apply for any type of scholarship.
